Benefits of technology

[0013]The present invention has been implemented in view of the foregoing situation, and has an object to provide a liquid crystal display device which can effectively reduce electromagnetic radiation caused by clock signals or data signals.
[0015]According to the first aspect of the present invention, the load capacitance of the first clock signal line for transmitting the first clock signal and the load capacitance of the second clock signal line for transmitting the second clock signal in reverse relationship with the first clock signal can be made equal or substantially equal to each other. Therefore, an offset effect can be induced between the first and second clock signals, and the electromagnetic radiation caused by the clock signals can be reduced.
[0017]According to the second aspect of the present invention, a half number of data driver ICs latch the data signals with the first clock signal, an the residual half number of data driver ICs latch the data signals with the second clock signal, so that the load capacitance can be equal or substantially equal between the first and second clock signal lines. Therefore, the offset effect can be induced between the first and second clock signals and thus the electromagnetic radiation caused by the clock signals can be reduced.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) problem has been induced by the increase of the speed of the clock signals, and thus it has been an important matter to take some countermeasure to this problem.
Therefore, there is a problem that it is impossible to effectively reduce the electromagnetic radiation due to an antenna design of the clock signal lines.

Abstract

The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device which can effectively reduce electromagnetic radiation caused by clock signals or data signals. In a liquid crystal display device, a timing controller outputs a clock signal and a reverse clock signal. The clock signal and the reverse clock signal are transmitted to a clock signal line and a reverse clock signal line arranged in parallel to each other. The clock signal line is connected to normal terminals of data driver ICs, and the reverse clock signal line is connected to dummy terminals of the data driver ICs.
